Subject: Re: Thursday Chat 09.30.21 by teebee on 2021/10/1 3:31:45 Matt, TB is busier than a one-legged man at a butt kicking contest. I told the guy last night, who called me with a computer problem he needed help with, "I retired from teaching....not working". I think you'll figure that out some day, when you get old enough to retire, Matt. Working on some kitchen design plans for acouple and while over there I got a call from one of my little old ladies who needed me to look at a problem. So I went over there and figured out a solution, then after lunch spent 4 hours cutting a big hole in the floor of her house, in a closet, so there is access to the crawl space...which was cut off by the HVAC guy running all his plumbing/venting through the existing space when he installed a new unit. Had to cut off a floor joist to make the hole large enough to get through, so that meant headering both ends of the floor joist where I cut it so the floor won't sag, now or over time. Had to go home and grab my 20 ton bottle jack to hold it up while I cut and got it headered off. then was able to replace the piece I cut out and turned it into a lift-out door. The lady told me when I was done, "I didn't expect you to be able to do the job this soon." I told her, It was just a fluke that I was able to come that quick, but that I was waiting for materials and it just worked out. This evening went over to another job I have, to replace some laminate countertops and arranged to start that Monday. Back home to work on the cabinet bid for the couple.... finished that up about 9:30pm. |
